A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Maybe we are late in the universe, perhaps universe used to be a lively and vibrant place homing millions of civilizations. Now, we stand as the last remnants, hence, possibly the most advanced. (self.showerthoughts)

Would human intelligence be considered a possible evolutionary dead end? Dumb as a rock dinosaurs reigned for millions of years....modern humans have been her for 10k years and we are in the verge of destroying our planet and eliminating humans as a species.

I think that's ultimately the answer to the Fermi paradox: it is simply the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself

The answer to the Fermi paradox is denial.

We have mountains of evidence for alien craft flying around our atmosphere. The reason that “the aliens are nowhere to be found” is it’s just too terrifying to think there’s an advanced intelligence this close to us. It’s too much to deal with, so we ignore it.

You can go on youtube and search for ufo footage. You’ll find thousands of high definition videos.

If you claim those are faked, provide me with evidence of one of those videos being faked, or even that one can be faked.
